8 Things Everybody Ought to Know About Concentrating - StumbleUpon “Music helps me concentrate,” Mike said to me glancing briefly over his shoulder. Mike was in his room writing a paper for his U.S. History class. On his desk next to his computer sat crunched Red Bulls, empty Gatorade bottles, some extra pocket change and scattered pieces of paper. In the pocket of his sweat pants rested a blaring iPod with a chord that dangled near the floor, almost touching against his Adidas sandals. Mike made a shift about every thirty seconds between all of the above. Do you know a person like this? The Science Behind Concentration In the above account, Mike’s obviously stuck in a routine that many of us may have found ourselves in, yet in the moment we feel it’s almost an impossible routine to get out of. When we constantly multitask to get things done, we’re not multitasking, we’re rapidly shifting our attention.

Embracing All of Life Instead of Resisting Pain “Don’t seek, don’t search, don’t ask, don’t knock, don’t demand – relax. If you relax, it comes. If you relax, it is there. If you relax, you start vibrating with it.” ~Osho As far as I can remember, I have always asked myself questions about the nature of my emotional pain. I felt like a victim of life. I did not wonder about the source of my joy; on the contrary I simply accepted these positive emotions. I went through a phase of denying the negative emotions I experienced, and I thought that being positive, at all costs, would “chase” away my suffering. For many years I attempted to transform a negative emotion into a positive one. I began this journey of looking at the source of my pain. Upon reflecting on the path I had permitted myself to take, to travel to the depths of my past, I uncovered that I had developed an unconscious belief that someone was guilty for inflicting this suffering on me. Emotions—be they uplifting and joyful, or sorrowful and scary—come to us to teach us.

How to Meet your Higher Self The first time I ever heard of a higher self was in Shirley Maclaine’s book, Out on a Limb. I was young, though, and didn’t really understand who this higher self person was, or what her importance to me might be. Once I became an adult, however, I learned exactly who my higher self is and why I needed to get to know her as intimately as possible. Who is the Higher Self? Your higher self is you.

In one Asian country, dozens have set themselves on fire recently to protest religious and political repression. The Bible offers a solution to injustice, corruption, and oppression. Jehovah’s Witnesses believe that God’s Kingdom is mankind’s only true hope for a peaceful world.
